Sunday Muse-163
Soft pedaling silence
moves on the tips of fingers
joy dances on the strings.
The pain vanishes
in melodious tunes
life a parable.
Long forgotten times
yearningly swirl in the eyes
life in the crisis.
Healing through music
brings more joy without people
silence speaks louder.

DeleteI enjoyed your poem ... music has always healed me, my heart, my soul.
ReplyDeleteSame here. Music plays a huge part in my life and especially in these pandemic times. Thank you, Helen :)
DeleteThey stand as a whole or as a series of senryu. I appreciate the thoughtfulness you put into each. The first one is my favorite.

Lisa, your comment made my day. Humbled. Thank you :)
DeleteTrue the instrument allows expression not comfortably given with others.
ReplyDeleteNice Senryū quartet, Sunita. It told a story nicely, I'll grab the last fine line. "silence speaks louder" but I prefer music, voices, and nature's sounds.
ReplyDeleteI like your header photo, those small ferries carry a lot of traffic. Back, way back, when I rode a motor cycle, like the one on our right, they worked really well. We were directed to pull up and wait until no more cars would fit, then we would be beckoned to bring the bike along. Not every rider knew that.

DeleteJim, for me music is to ward of the unwanted noises which trouble my mental peace. Yes, these ferries still ply in my home town in Goa. The river Zuari flows in my village. Have many fond memories of the ferries when we travelled on bikes and boarded those ferries to go to the mainland.
DeleteI see the name, "Zuari", on the ferries. When we visited Goa we spent a morning cruising the Zuari River Backwater. Things were sooo pretty there, Goa is a nice town to visit.

p.s. You can delete this comment if you wish, but thank you so very much for showing the picture. Brings memories.

Wow! You have been to Goa! When was it?
DeleteThe power of music is conveyed so beautifully in your senryu.

Love this Sunita! It beautifully describes the graceful hand movements
to the strains of the music. One can almost see it in front of the eyes.
